Hi,
Here are a few highlights about what we did in May, among many other things:
*
We implemented many improvements to the Tor Connection assistant. This makes is much easier for people in Asia to circumvent censorship. For details, see the Tails 5.1 release notes [1]. *
We wrote a new homepage for the _Unsafe Browser_ when you are not connected to the Tor network yet. This new version makes it easier to understand how to sign in to the network using a captive portal. *
We started organized training and usability tests sessions for August in Brazil. *
Tails 5.0 was released on May 3 [2]. It was the first version of Tails based on Debian 11 (Bullseye) and brought new versions of a lot of the software included in Tails and new OpenPGP tools. *
We started evaluating Mirrorbits to manage our download mirror pool. On top of decreasing the required maintenance work, this should make downloads of Tails faster and more reliable. *
Tails has been started more than 769 997 times this month. This makes 24 838 boots a day on average.
Cheers!
